Training Courses

Tucked into Portsmouth Central Library, Lily & Lime is a relaxed place to grab a bite to eat, enjoy a great cup of coffee, and support our work with people with learning disabilities.

Enjoy a delicious panini and a barista hot drink or give yourself an afternoon treat with one of our homemade cakes.

Lily & Lime is more than a relaxed, friendly café - it’s a thriving community hub where you can get together, socialise, and meet our welcoming team.

Dozens of people with learning disabilities run our cafés and provide top quality event catering - learning new skills, developing social skills and working towards more independent futures.

We are proud to be part of local charity Minstead Trust, which supports 320 people from Poole to Portsmouth.
